Direct linkBombaerts, Gunter; Spahn, Andreas – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
A course on ethics and history of technology, taught to 1886 first-year engineering students of 14 engineering departments was redesigned using Self-Determination Theory (SDT) by adapting many course elements at the same time. We applied the situational level of Vallerand's hierarchical model, analysing how the elements of this ethics and history…

Diefes-Dux, Heidi A. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
Standards-based grading (SBG) tightly links student assessment to course learning objectives, providing students with meaningful feedback. A well-designed SBG system should ease first-year engineering (FYE) students' transition to tertiary education by setting clear expectations and enabling self-monitoring of learning progress. However, when…

Kunberger, Tanya – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2013
In order to develop the evaluative skills necessary for successful performance of design, a senior, Geotechnical Engineering course was revised to immerse students in the complexity of the design process utilising a project-based learning (PBL) approach to instruction. The student-centred approach stresses self-directed group learning, which…

Fiegel, Gregg L. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2013
The article describes the process of incorporating a set of learning outcomes into a geotechnical engineering course. The outcomes were developed using Bloom's taxonomy and define the knowledge, skills, and abilities the students are expected to achieve upon completion of the course. Each outcome begins with an action-oriented verb corresponding…

Heylen, Christel; Smet, Marc; Buelens, Hermans; Sloten, Jos Vander – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2007
A present-day engineer has a large scientific knowledge; he is a team-player, eloquent communicator and life-long learner. At the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, the course "Problem Solving and Engineering Design" introduces engineering students from the first semester onwards into real engineering practice and teamwork. Working in small…

Peer reviewedLane, T. J. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 1994
Four European universities have developed a transnational taught master's course in construction management which requires study in three countries. The development of the course is explained, course objectives are given, and the structure and curriculum of the course is outlined, together with a description of the international approach to…
